%X This study investigates the impact of integrating the REAP strategy on the reading  comprehension of first grade students at SMAN 9 Bandar Lampung. Using a  quantitative approach, the study employed a one-group pre-test and post-test design. In  particular, the research concentrated on X3 as a trial class and X2 as an experimental  class. A pre-test and post-test consisting of 40 multiple-choice questions assessed the  students' reading comprehension skills, with an average score of 60.6% in pre-test. The  students then took part in two treatment sessions using the REAP strategy to practise  reading comprehension through folk tales, fables and legends. In the pre-test, showed  a significant increase in the mean score to 76.2%, resulting in an overall gain of 15.6%.  It was proven by the result of paired sample t-test, which showed that the value of two  tails significance was (0.00) smaller than alpha (0.00<0.05), T-value which is 13.173  > T-table 2.045 and it means that null hypothesis is rejected and alternative hypothesis  is accepted, indicating a significant improvement in students' reading comprehension  after being taught with the REAP strategy. Inference was the most improved aspect,  with a pre-test average of 137 rising to 187 in the post-test, an increase of 50 points or  21.85%. These results confirm the positive impact of the REAP strategy on improving  students' reading comprehension and underline its potential to engage students and  improve their learning outcomes.
